Emerald City Theatre to Present MAGIC TREE HOUSE: A NIGHT IN NEW ORLEANS

Broadway In Chicago and Emerald City Theatre are pleased to announce that MAGIC TREE HOUSE: A NIGHT IN NEW ORLEANS based on the best-selling book series by Mary Pope Osborne will play the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place March 19 through April 10, 2016. MAGIC TREE HOUSE is directed by Samuel Roberson with book and lyrics by Will Osborne and Murray Horwitz and music and additional lyrics by Allen Toussaint.

Beloved Magic Tree House characters Jack and Annie venture through the tuneful streets of 1915 New Orleans, where they discover 14-year-old Louis Armstrong and must set him on the trumpeting path to become the "King of Jazz." This triumphant tale explores a world where possibilities are endless and stirs the soul of the Jazz Age.
